How Some Men Write.
From the PHILADELPHIA Press.


Bancroft uses a typewriter and stenographer
but he thinks $50 words good days work and
James G. Blaine thought he was doing well when
he accomplished 1900 words of morning. One
of the fastest writer's among the public men of
to-day is Admiral Porter. whose brain works
like the wheel of a dynamo throwing off sparks
at every turn, and whose pencil rushes across
the paper at almost a telegraphic speed. Ad-
miral Porter wrote bis history of the United
States Navy in eleven months and during this
time his average was at least 5000 words a
month, or nearly $500 words a day, including
Sundays. The book is as big as a dictionary
and it contains from 100000 to 100000 words
During many of these days he did not write at
all, and his average during his working period
ran as high as 5000 words day Admiral Por-
ter is fond of writing. He never uses anything
now but lead pencil, and he says he cannot
think well without he has his pencil in bis hand.
He had slight attack of pen paralysis once,
and his hand refuses to act whenever his finger
touches the steel of the pen. He began his
novel writing for amusement. and he wrote
ALLAN Dare" without any idea that it would be
published. much less dramatized. He stands up
while writing, and, when he becomes interested
he works right along for hours at a stretch
George Bancroft works only in the morning.
Blaine did his best work before noon and Logan
worked both morning and evening

In the Toy Shop.

From Longnld,t's Magazine.
The child had longings all unspoken-
She was naughty child.
She had a will that must be broken;"
Her brothers drove her wild.
She read the tale, but skipped the moral,
She thought lone might be good,
If one could never scream and quarrel
If one were only wood?"
Meanwhile the Doll: "Ah, fatal chasm
Although I've real curls
l am not made of protoplasm,
Like other little girls.
You see on every wooden feature
My animatlon's nil.
How nice to be human creature,
Get cross, and have will!'
And what may be the real issue
There's none hath understood;
But some of US are nervous tissue,
And some of us are wood
And some to suffering, striving wildly,
Are never quite resigned,
While we Of wood yet murmur mildly
At being left behind

The Three Met Again.
From the CNtcaao Ttibune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
During the triennial conclave in Chicago near
ly eight years ago two men stood in front of the
Leland Hotel A third man approached them
with an armful Of pamphlets, and offered them
for sale. One of the men first mentioned was
New Yorker, the other was at home. They took
book, and after scanning it over, the New York
man said: This book is rapk treason, and you
ought to be locked up for hawking it on the
street" The Chicago man said to the peddler:
You ought to be hung forstrying to sell such
book as that" The man o. the pamphlets
passed on, and the New Yorker and Chicago
man soon separated. They never met again
until last Friday. and both were witnesses to
the hanging in the county Jail. The New York
man said to his Chicago friend: There is man
on the scaffold whomI have seen before. Where
was itf'' indicating his felon, The Chicago man
replied: That is Parsons, the Anarchist. He is
the man who met you and seven years ago in
front of the Leland Hotel. He was hawking his
pamphlets then. You said he ought to be lock
ed up, and i said he ought to be hung. The
drinks are on YOU" The New York man opened
a bottle after the hanging.

Judge Van Brunt, of the General Term OF
the Supreme Court of New York, has an.
nounced his decision not to admit to prac-
tice Hong Yen Chang, the young China.
man who recently passed satisfactory ex-
animation. He is a graduate of Yale Col
lege and the Columbia Law School, and has
been denied naturalization by the United
States Court The Legislature passed an
act for his relief last May, authorizing the
court to waive alienage Justice Daniels
agrees with Judge Van Brunt, but Justice
Brady differed with them. In the case OF
William Lane O'Neill, a British subject who
was debarred in 1881 by the General Term,
the Court Of Appeals held that while the
court had power TO debar an alien, the
Legislature had authority to pass an act
permitting his admission. The case is at.
tracing considerable attention in legal
circles

The 'wet" element in Atlanta recently
took novel way of showing that ''probibi-
ton does not prohibit" Five negroes, it is
said were taken by the leaders of the move
ment and filed with fighting whisky. When
they had become beastly drunk they were
paraded through the principle streets. Such
an exhibition, it seems, should tend to pro
mote the cause Of prohibition and make
thinking men insist that tho prohibitory
measures already adopted be strictly in
forced. ---

The proclamation issued by Gov. Oglesby,
of Illinois, calling upon the people of the
State to observe Thanksgiving day, Is prob
ably the shortest on record 1t merely
designates the day and asks the people to
appropriately observe the occasion with
all humility, benevolence and charity" 1t
is probable that the Governor at the time
did not know that the State would be free
of the raving Anarchists who had created
so much trouble.

Civil Service and the Tariff.
From the Boston Traveller rep.

From the Boston Traveller CRepI
1t is the true policy all round to have an open
fight on the principle of protection, and let the
best side win. Should the next canvass be con-
fined mainly to the civil service issue and the
tariff, without reservation or lodging on either
side, it would do much to lift the controversy of
1888 away from sectional lines, and make it
more national than it has been for fifty years.
